Morning everyone,

Just thought I would check in and see how everyone is doing.

What are your plans for this week?

What was it?!
I love hearing these I feel like mine are so strange.

brittany634

It was just weird like I was watching the wedding, and everything that could go wrong did. it was really odd.

This is my first day back to work after my wedding/honeymoon time off - so the last time I was here was Nov. 8....I'm a little off to say the least!  But thankfully I got through all of my emails already.

This week will be putting gifts away, writing thank yous, and putting up the Christmas tree!  I'm so excited for the holidays!!!!

cwaggoner07

Britt - I always had dreams I was getting married across the street from Target and I kept forgetting things for the wedding and I kept running across the street in my dress with my credit card to buy more stuff.

Wedding dreams are the best. Serious I always wake up freaked out then can't stop laughing.

Morning!

It's really gross today - a wintery sloshy mix of snow and rain and to top it off it's grey and cold. Bleh. I'm hoping this cup of coffee will brighten my mood. 

Swag - super jealous of your short week again. Do you work longer hours so that you have Fridays off?

And oh gosh, wedding nightmares/dreams... I had way too many of them in the year leading up to my wedding. They were so ridiculous! Haha I remember that in one of them we were in Hawaii (when in reality we were not having a DW), my hair stylist gave me a mohawk hairdo without me noticing what she was doing, it was going to thunderstorm and ruin the plans for the being outdoors, and we also were told we couldn't have any alcohol at the last minute, so it would be a dry wedding. Basically all of my wedding nightmares were as strange and ridiculous as that one, with everything possible going wrong in the most strange way possible.

amazon? I always get cheap phone cases from there maybe they will have cheap kindle ones?

I'm in the process of putting together a presentation about alcohol's effects on athleticism. Fun stuff I tell you. It's to present at a local high school meet the coaches night. Which means I have like a 12 hour work day ahead of me. 

Brit, I bought my mom a Kindle case at Walmart for like $15 bucks. It's one of the kinds that like fold back to prop it up.

We work 8.5 hour days, and the remaining 3.5 hours the firm 'gives' us. It's only Apr 15- Aug 15 and Oct 15-Dec 15. I work in federal tax, so those are our slow times. When we're not doing Fridays off we're working loooooong weeks.

I had a wedding dream last week that we totally forgot the liquor, not good with our crowd! So I was begging the people at the liquor store to rush the liquor license, so stressful!! My morning session kid is totally off and is yelling over every little thing today, I'm really hoping this isn't going to be an indicator of the rest of my day.

jennylee813

It's showtime!!

I've got students for testing now, just had back-to-back math classes, and had to switch my lunch duty to get to dress rehearsal on time. I get a whopping 15 minutes to eat, theatre from 1-3, then odds and ends, supper, and back at the theatre for 6 for hair and makeup. The kids are wired, and it's the closing of the festival tonight, so we're expecting a full house.

Welcome back Alo! Can't wait for pics!

I thought 50 Shades was so poorly written, I couldn't be bothered with the other two, IMHO.

Angelface225

Just found out my parents have to put down their yellow lab, he has lymphoma. Poor dog, he's such a sweetie and only like 7 years old! This day! It's only 10:40 and I'm ready to go back to bed.

cwaggoner07

Jenny - I felt that way about Twilight. I hated it so hard.

Angel - I'm so so sorry. Losing a pet is so hard, no matter how old they are or what their condition is.

Edie - Pardon my ignorance, but what are you in school for?

jennylee813

So sorry to hear that, Angel. Losing a pet is hard.

I don't like Twilight any more than 50 shades, but I am trying (really hard) to look at it as a stepping stone. If it gets kids reading 'real' books, I'm all for it. Because right now I have kids in class that are bragging about not having read a book in three years (they're in grade 8) and it makes me sad...

i wish I was going to Florida tomorrow, jcb!

applejambutter

When I read 50 shades of grey I felt like I was reading twilight.
It drove me insane.

H didn't read a book from high school until he moved to Los Angeles for film school a few years ago. He met with a mentor that told him if he was serious about his career change then he needed to start reading industry books. To me, not reading at all to reading industry books sounds like a horrible leap, but he actually did it, and he said it helped him so much.
When he moved back to TX he wanted to start reading books before seeing the movies, so he read Hunger Games and LOVED it.
So now he's reading Harry Potter and we watch each movie as he finishes each book. He said it's a fun practice to build a movie in his head as he reads and then compare it to the big screen. I say, whatever keeps him reading is good by me.

There is hope! H was not really that academic growing up at all and now we love reading in bed together.

jennylee813

Well yeah, 50 Shades is Twilight fan fiction, so that makes perfect sense.

I only watched the first movie, and didn't like it at all.

If you do like fantasy, have you read the Sookie Stackhouse stuff by Charlaine Harris?  They're what "True Blood" is based on. I haven't watched the shows, but did like the books. the concept is interesting and while sometimes predictable, at least her writing is polished.

You know 50 shades started as Twilight fan fiction? The publishers changed details to avoid copyright stuff, but yeah, you're basically reading about Bella and Edward.

I had no idea, Makes sense now.
That is all I could think is... I feel like ive already read this.

well that sucks haha sorry.
